Daily Check In: Are You On Track Today?

I enjoy celery as long as it isn't bitter. I think I enjoy its crunch as I do with raw cauliflower. Today was a weird diet day for me. I logged all of my food but made less-than-healthy choices and yet went only slightly over my point range. I had some high calorie foods but in small portions. It was a tiring day for me overall. Craig was a huge help with his to do list for me. However, I spent a long time on the phone with tech support for the new printer I recently purchased. I have always set up new printers on my own with no problems, but for some reason this one would connect and set up. Thank goodness for tech support, but it took at least 4 phone calls for it to get all set up correctly. Oddly enough that was an ordeal for me and wore me out. I rested in the evening and then felt "normal" for me again.

I also love crunchy foods Paula. I can see how trying to get a printer set up would be tiring. It's a lot of mental work and probably peppered with some frustration. I am glad you got it working in the end,

We drove out to Westlock to visit with Jim's cousin Scott and family. It was a pleasant evening. Lots of activity which is drastic comparison to how we live with just the two of us. There were lots of people there between little kids, older kids, dogs and puppies. It was a good night but I was exhausted when I got home. I believe that I stayed within my calorie range too. I had to guess on a few things, so I was not 1005 accurate.

Your visit to Jim's cousin sounds wonderful to me, and I certainly understand the resulting exhaustion! I would consider that a healthy good exhaustion. I so value those family connections. I had an unusually good day today for eating. I used only about 2/3 of my daily points! Lately I have not been UNDER my points at all. So this was great, and I was satisfied all day and evening. I had some energy too to tackle one of my monthly to do items, and got through it just in time for our online Vespers service. We had quite an ice/snow/sleet storm tonight, and many churches have cancelled tomorrow's morning services. Things are expected to improve as the day goes on tomorrow.

Today will be a wonderful day to stay and home and watch football. The sun is shining, so that is an added bonus. Do the churches cancel services very often where you are? I feel like we always push to keep things open and I wish we would close. It keeps everyone safer, and there are times that is more important than showing up to a building. We learned that over Covid.

Not much to report on today. DH will cheer for the Chiefs, I will decide once the game gets going. I think I will cheer for the Eagles though. My heart will lead for this one.

It is not unusual for churches to cancel services on snow icy days. Even if the roads are clear/somewhat safe, many churches don't have their parking lots safe in time for morning services. My old church cancelled today which sort of surprised me, but my current church held services which really surprised me. The parking lot at my current church is considerably smaller but we have had issues in the past with the parking lot being cleared in time for church.

We are celebrating the Eagles victory in the Super Bowl. The lopsided score was a surprise. Some of our relatives from TX called us during the 1st half of the game. I was happy to talk with them but also eager to get back to watching the game. I thought it was sweet of them to call however. I didn't track any of my food today. I likely went over my points despite my best efforts and plan. Back to reality for Monday.
